Thanks for the video

Glad you enjoyed 😉

Thank you guys, great video as usual. What would cause a score motor (on occasion) to just stop and the game go dead (usually after a ball drains) until you reach in and manually move it a click or two?

[@goatshedempinballrepair8545]

Ah good question it could be mechanical or a loose and spinning contact pad on switch 1C on a Gottlieb game.

[@chuckufarley5884]

@@goatshedempinballrepair8545 Thank you, I'll take a look at that switch.👍

Relay hold circuit failure to not complete its sequence I seem to solve quite a bit.
Good job on the video Kim

[@goatshedempinballrepair8545]

Yes so many variables

Great to find your channel. I have a Bally Bow and Arrow pinball machine and an even older Gottlieb flippin cowboy.

4 player game: The Z1 and Z2 relays play a part in the score reel resets too (Z2 pulls in to reset Player3 and P4, when they register 0's then Z1 pulls in for P1 &2). If either is out of adjustment then the motor keeps spinnin'. (For your viewers - Trip Bank is aka Control Bank)

[@goatshedempinballrepair8545]

Absolutely

Thanks Kim. Very helpful. This will help many folks in solving the ever popular stuck motor problem. So satisfying finding out which switch or switches are causing the problem and give the poor motor a rest! 🤣 As you mention, the score reels & their switches not working at the zero position is very common. Happy 2024.
